@StephenLShapiro lol I’m actually a billion years old - it’s tragic. But I appreciate the chat. In either case, I hope yuri can get your second or third vote if he’s not your first. The party needs to stay conservative.

Everyone realizes Iain Black is just working as Caroline Elliott’s attack dog in the BC Conservative leadership race? He cannot win so he is attacking other candidates for Caroline. He just attacked KLF for going after Peter when Iain went after Peter for the same exact thing . Iain has even attended Caroline Elliott events with her, like the Without Diminishment party which is literally a blog she founded and all the writers are either promoters for her or directly work for her campaign.

@jeffreywpierce Respectfully disagree on that one. I was a Conservative long before you were born, so well aware!

@StephenLShapiro Naa, not really. Conservatives have been tearing ourselves apart for decades. Splits on the right have cost us election after election. Getting a deal so that we can focus our attention on the NDP? That’s a damn good deal.

@jeffreywpierce Yes I dont disagree with that but surrendering 5 ridings right off the bat is not good politics. I think the 10% may just be parked there temporarily. She won't win Van Quilchena.

@StephenLShapiro I appreciate the concern but honestly, I really respect his ability to sit down and hammer out a deal. Taking 10% out of a bunch of critical ridings & being at each other's throats during a general is a massive distraction and horrible strategy. The only winner there is the NDP.

@GurvSC Totally agree and well said. They have lost their way. Carney is strong with what would have been a Progressive Conservative agenda pre-CPC.

When you’re down 2-3 points you can blame Trump, but when you’re down 10+ points that’s not a Trump issue anymore. That’s incompetence at the CPC. I don’t even understand what the plan is anymore, they need to stop being so soft and start differentiating themselves from Carney to regular Canadians so that people actually care what they have to say. We should be running on massive economic reform. Why are we obsessed with dumb stuff like Pierre not smiling enough and the tone he speaks in, genuinely baffling. We were doing better before he changed his personality because at least we weren’t irrelevant. The CPC needs to understand that Stephen Harper would lose an election right now probably by a lot to Carney. That means the CPC needs to be different from how they won previously. Running on soft reform won’t work.

Trump goes and a Democrat occupies the White House? Carney still leads, poll says nationalpost.com/news/trump-goe…

When asked if there was any potential for "over cautiousness" as regards hantavirus, B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry responds, "I don't think we can be over cautious given the trauma we've all been through."

BC just leveled up! The new AI data centres in Vancouver and Kamloops are a total game-changer for our tech ecosystem and local jobs. This is the future and the path to a stronger, more modern economy. #BCForward #AI #FutureIsHere #vanpoli
Peter Meiszner@PeterMeiszner

The federal government, Westbank and TELUS have announced three new AI data centres in B.C., including two in Vancouver; one at West Georgia and Beatty, and the second in Mt. Pleasant. It's a multibillion-dollar investment in Canadian data sovereignty and our city. #vanpoli

My other takeaway is I can't believe Bonnie "Glory Holes" Henry is still B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer after her atrocious mishandling of COVID. But I digress.

@wazaroff Except for the fact that the Health Authority and Ministry are not doing their job. No new treatment beds opened in Vancouver, despite their promises.

Here’s what I keep coming back to: the city’s job in this moment is pretty simple. When a health authority is doing hard, necessary work, you show up as a partner. You figure out what isn’t working. You help fix it. That’s the job. (2/6)

Today, Ken Sim and ABC killed an overdose prevention site that Vancouver Coastal Health has been working towards for years. (1/6)

Today, ABC councillors + Mayor Ken Sim stood up for Downtown Vancouver residents and businesses against a reckless plan to reopen a failed overdose prevention site for the 3rd time just off Granville. People need recovery & treatment on demand. My comments 👇🏻 #vanpoli #bcpoli
